    NAUTILUS TABLE CLOCK, A STUNNING LEGACY PIECE!
    In the early 1800s, the American inventor Robert Fulton, while in France, "conceived the idea of destroying ships by introducing floating mines under their bottoms in submarine boats". He coined the term "torpedo" in reference to the explosive charges with which he outfitted his submarine Nautilus.
    Introducing the Nautilus table clock, which weighs a hearty 7.85 lbs. It hearkens back to circa 1902 when the French submarine and torpedo industry was in full swing.  The shape and components and the
    brass details
    on this most intricate timepiece feature several moving parts, including a
    solid brass four-blade propeller
    and operable dive planes. Highlights also include a
    heavy marble base and brass portholes with acrylic windows.
    Accurate timekeeping is guaranteed, so ship... or rather submarine ahoy!
    Made of cast aluminum, brass and granite
    Measures 7&1/2” tall x 17&1/2" long x 6” wide and w
    eighs just under 8 lbs
